How do movies that gross many millions of dollars over their budget still result in the production company losing money?

Question

For example- I looked at The Mummy (2017) on Wikipedia, which had a budget of $125-195 million, and grossed $410 million worldwide at the box office, yet it also says the studio lost $95 million. How is that possible?

If an actor has a profit share say 10% the company can do stuff like overcharge for hire of assets from other companies they own, Hugh management fee, loads of other tricks to try to stop said actor recieving maybe 100,000,000s in profit share if the film.
